...you've never been stalked before.

Well, you know what they say. There's a first time for everything.

The act of knowing an address is a stalking threat? Most stalking incidents are related to personal relationship issues or matters of celebrity. The probability that a stalking threat will result because a random person somewhere in the world receives a name and address is so remote that I would be more worried about protecting my home from meteorite hits. ... and remember this is all a result of the customer apparently deliberately entering a bogus e-mail address when purchasing.

No, but it increases the risk.

So that means the phone book is a veritable wealth of stalking danger? Or for that matter, Google, or 411.com?

This is starting to sound more tin-foil hat than real

...you've never heard of things like unlisted phone numbers either. :P
